Thanks bro, yes you're right, a bigger pump should be used. but for my case, i find it okay because my altums don't really like high flow.. do let us know if u manage to find a larger pump that can fit in.

another thing you guys should take note, the back of the filter may habour risk of small fishes getting trapped inside. my 2inch small IT was trapped inside as he swim in through the top opening and not knowning how to swim out.. i suggest placing the filter just slightly above water level.

Although I think it can be easily fixed by attaching/silicon a piece/strip of black acrylic/plastic to cover it up though. |

Yes his intention for dymax is to fill it with media for biofiltration booster.
Fx5 only load about 5 litre media space and comes with sufficient mechanical pads as well. Nevertheless a good write up to show available alternative filters. Interesting |

Yes indeed, i find Fx5 though a very good filter, cannot really pack alot of bio media.. so have to source for other alternative bio filtration.
